Lamborghini's Temerario is getting a family, and the Huracán shows why
Lamborghini built the Temerario's hybrid V8 platform to carry several different cars
Lamborghini has confirmed that a Temerario Spyder is coming and that other derivatives will follow it. In an interview in Milan, product line director Paolo Racchetti said the plug-in hybrid architecture was built "to cover several specific missions". He named a sportier road car in the spirit of the Huracán Tecnica, a more purist track car and, without committing to it, a successor to the off-road Sterrato.
A Temerario Spyder comes first, with a reveal expected in 2027
The open Temerario is the one derivative Lamborghini has confirmed. Prototypes have already been seen testing at the Nürburgring, and the reveal is expected in 2027, roughly two years after the coupé reached its first customers. Racchetti described a traditional lifecycle: coupé, then Spyder, then the rest. That order matches what chief executive Stephan Winkelmann has said before, that open and higher-performance versions take priority whenever engineering resources are short, and that niche ideas wait their turn.
The Temerario's 920 hp hybrid V8 leaves room above 1,000 hp
The standard Temerario pairs a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 of 800 hp with three electric motors, for 920 hp combined and a redline above 10,000 rpm. Racchetti says future derivatives can draw extra performance from both halves of that system. Technical chief Rouven Mohr has already said a hardcore version could pass 1,000 hp, and has hinted at a lighter rear-wheel-drive car with a smaller self-charging hybrid. The Huracán's variants had to find their differences inside one naturally aspirated V10; the Temerario's can also change the electric share.
The Huracán grew into 14 versions and had its best year in 2023
The Huracán had its best sales year in 2023, its ninth on the market. Across its 2014 to 2024 run it spawned 14 derivatives, from rear-wheel-drive coupés and the Performante to the STO, the Tecnica and the Sterrato. Lamborghini's own figures show 2,242 Huracán deliveries in 2015, its first full year, and 3,962 in 2023. A supercar selling 77 percent more near the end of its life than at the start is rare, and it happened while the three most focused versions were all on sale.
A Temerario Sterrato would follow 1,499 Huracán Sterratos
A Sterrato successor is the least certain item on Lamborghini's list. Racchetti called the off-roader "a concept that only Lamborghini can do", but said it is not confirmed. The original, revealed in 2022, rode 44 mm higher than the Huracán Evo at 162 mm, wore all-terrain tyres and gained underbody protection and a Rally mode. Production was capped at 1,499 cars, and it was the last Lamborghini launched without hybrid assistance. The Temerario's two front motors can already vary torque between the wheels, which is exactly what loose surfaces reward.
Track Temerarios already race in GT3 and join Super Trofeo in 2027
The purist track car Racchetti describes has an obvious source. The Temerario GT3 took its first IMSA win at Road America in August, and a Temerario Super Trofeo arrives in Lamborghini's one-make series in 2027, just as the Huracán STO drew on its Super Trofeo racer. Derivatives matter commercially too: Lamborghini's deliveries fell 4.6 percent to 5,422 cars in the first half of 2026, and the Urus still accounts for roughly three quarters of them.
AutoNext Take
Lamborghini is right to treat the Temerario as the start of a range. The Huracán's delivery curve is the evidence: a car that climbed from 2,242 deliveries to 3,962 over eight years was being renewed with a new character every year or two. Racchetti's line that speed is now "necessary, not sufficient" points the same way, because when family electric cars can match a supercar's acceleration, distinct personalities are what a buyer pays for.
Expect the Spyder in 2027 and at least one track-focused Temerario before the end of 2028, on the Huracán's rhythm of a Performante three years after launch. If the family follows that pattern, the Temerario's best sales year will come late in the decade rather than in its first full year, and a hybrid Sterrato, should Lamborghini find the resources, would be the clearest proof that this platform can do things the V10 never could.
